I absolutely love the location of this place. New Bedford is my hometown, but I moved out right out of high school so when I come to visit I always like sticking to places along the water, in this location, checks that box perfectly. I've only been here a handful of times, and the food is always good. Sadly, I haven't always been great about taking photos. One thing that has been disappointing is the fact that, if it has kids, it wouldn't let them to put something like fish and chips on it. No. Paying homage to the seafaring town that the restaurant resides in, and the fact that the restaurant does host a massive amount of seafood for the adults, offering some smaller portion for the kiddos would be nice. The only way around it was ordering shrimp at $4 each and sharing some of our sides in order to make an entrée for our son. I know this is a minor gripe but it's kind of unfortunate for a place like Cisco. It won't stop us from coming. It's just now we know how to make it work. (And maybe now other people reading this will also know.) Can't wait to try the outdoor seating when the weather is nicer it does look pretty awesome. For some reason, we always gone when it's too cold to enjoy. read more

Cisco is reliable for a decent meal and good service. They have reservations on open table which is nice for busy season. They do seem to have trouble checking you in on open table if you care about points from reservations on open table. It's a great spot for a small group dinner of a larger party. Summer is the best to be able to eat outside, but it's always nice enough. read more

What a great location right on the beach! We got a table outside but under the roof. Live music is playing by the beach and great food trucks too! We ordered a few apps and dinner. My burger was just ok, not much flavor and my curly fries were cold. The crispy rice with spicy tuna was great, my wife's salmon bowl was also great! Will definitely be back!! read more

We stopped by after a hike to grab dinner and a couple beers. It was pretty crowded but they were able to seat us immediately. We had our pup with us so we had to sit outside but we didn't mind. The server helped us out right away and our drinks came pretty fast. The food took a little longer but it was worth the wait. Two suggestions would be: 1) to have the appetizer come out ahead of the food cause it would have been nice to munch on something while we waited for our main courses and 2) give a salsa for the chips so they can be dipped in something - a side of mango salsa would have been perfect. You can't really beat the location - next to the water and they had a live band playing too. We would def be back! read more

Let me just start by saying that we went here because they are a pet-friendly spot and we wanted to take our pup Ernie out for a Saturday afternoon drive and get off the tourist-filled Cape. This place is directly on the water with terrific views and plenty of seating. Our server came by almost immediately and as she began our drink order she asked if Ernie would like a drink of water first. I loved that. (Score 1) I started off with a shrimp cocktail and may just remark at the size of those shrimp? Perfectly cooked and tender. Cocktail sauce was bright and tasty. (Score 2) I followed that with baked cod topped with seasoned crumbs with a sauté of fresh veggies. The fish was fresh, seasoned and cooked properly. A delicious meal. All three of us would go again! read more

Cisco has something for anyone. Whether it's a great mixed drink, highly recommend the tropical itch! Definitely worth it for the price and it just seemed to never end! Nachos were a huge portion and were perfect for a table of 6, steak tips cooked perfect, the piggy rice was awesome. Would go back just for that dish. This is a place I wouldn't mind waiting at, the staff were friendly and the waitress was knowledgeable about the menu to give recs. always cute ok the inside and out. read more

Ambiance-chias kids and dogs are enough for me we went there on a Sunday afternoon. It was packed. Couldn't find a table, i'm sorry I don't wanna have lunch with dogs i'm sorry dogs are welcome, but great Danes give me a break. leave your dogs at home. I think it's selfish of people to bring their dogs out on a hot summer day when there's tons of food around people are trying to eat. The place was chaos. I'll never return. The food was bland. It's overrated as far as I'm concerned. read more

Went here with the family for a birthday dinner, if you haven't tried their other places like Black Whale you're missing out! Food - I got the blackened salmon, my boyfriend got the Cisco burger (not pictured) and the rest of the family got different orders. I also had their seasonal strawberry cosmo and Cisco at the beach margarita. My blackened salmon was perfect and well seasoned, everything combined really nicely on the plate (corn, sweet potato, arugula, & a tomato sauce). My cocktails, I'd give the cosmo a 2/5 due to no strawberry taste, and my marg would be a 4/5 because only one side had the sugar rim instead of the whole rim. My boyfriend said his burger was cooked perfectly for medium rare and he had no complaints. We also really enjoy the boom boom shrimp here as well as at black whale since it's the same owners! Service - she was quick and tentative to our large party, and she didn't miss a beat with getting more drinks to our table/requests. Ambiance - always an interesting place it's also super packed during the night, the outside bars were also very nice, but super packed lol. All in all, this place is great and that was our 2nd time coming to this restaurant! (I am adding my first dinner experience here, I had horseradish crusted haddock, which was really good as well, needed a bit more kick from the horseradish. It's not on the menu anymore unfortunately) read more

Update: Emily from Cisco Brewers reached out and they ended up refunding the tickets. This was very much appreciated because we had a great time aside from the feeling that we had paid for something that everybody had gotten complimentary access to. Word of warning. Don't pay anything extra for any events here. We paid an extra 20 for seats for the wrestling. The seats were in no way reserved for ticket holders. Anyone could sit in them and we felt totally ripped off. They would have done better to charge a 3-5 cover for anyone who happened to come that day rather than this guarantee of a seat which was not guaranteed. Other wise the venue is fantastic, I love the beach sand and it's right on the water and is a total party and the beer is great. However the fries in the restaurant were not hot. And there were no jalapenos on the nachos. The veggie burger was a solid veggie patty though. Our waitress was also excellent. But yeah, charging for the tickets was a weird money grab that left a bad taste. Maybe if we had been here before we would have known better. But take this advice. Do not pay extra for any kind of prepaid tickets. It is bullshit. Otherwise enjoy! We had a pretty good time here. read more

Terrible experience here... I never have seen worse service in my entire life. We tried to get a table for a large party of 12. We had called months prior and they said they don't take reservations. We called again a couple weeks before again they said they don't take reservations. Yesterday we get there and a very rude young woman asks if we had any reservations. Don't trust this place they are very shady. read more

This place is just awesome. Such a great place to go have a drink, grab some food (either full service dining at the restaurant, or there are food trucks), listen to some tunes and enjoy the beautiful atmosphere. The part that I truly love the most, besides the views, is the crowd. It's not the usual snobby Nantucket crowd and it's a super fun, eclectic mix of people. Makes for some great people watching as well read more

What a cool summer spot! It was my first time and I will definitely be back! The only reason I am giving it four stars instead of five is because there was only really one vegetarian option on the menu that I would eat. I really wish there were more options. If I go there again, I would have to get the same dish and that's fine, but I do like to try different things at different places, and this place would not allow me to do that. I had the crispy sweet potato tacos, and they were very yummy. Also, when I went, they were out of any beers on draft, and that was a little disappointing. Still because of the ambience and the proximity to the water I gave it four stars, but there are definitely some easy ways to get up to five stars. Hopefully they add some vegetarian options to the menu at some point and if that does happen, I will come back and update my review. The service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly. I always like when the servers check in on the table at various points to make sure we had what we needed and she definitely did that. read more

This place would get 5 stars, but the bathrooms are completely repulsive and totally unsanitary!!(NOTE: they say you can use the indoor bathrooms but with the number of people there it's not really an option.)are repulsive! What they have outside is a portable lavatory trailer which they are using as a permanent structure. The soap dispensers are empty and/or broken and you have to go outside to get a towel so there's no way to avoid actual skin contact with the lock and handle. And they apparently are seldom if ever cleaned. I can't understand how the health department hasn't shut them down. read more

Everything from start to finish was really fantastic! The location is on the water with fantastic views and a great atmosphere. The hostess was very friendly and we were seated promptly with a nice water view. Shortly after we arrived we were pleasantly surprised to hear live music during the day so it was a great addition. The oysters were perfect. A nice size, not watery or fishy at all. The nachos are hard to describe but they were almost like a salad. Take a look at the picture but they were amazing! The burger was also super well done. Easy parking and friendly staff. I highly recommend! read more

Great location and ambiance outside on the patio. Packed on a Saturday night with live music, glad we made a reservation. The cocktails were good, got the strawberry cosmo which was pretty looking but incredibly sweet, and then the blueberry lemonade which I loved. My meal was not as good, I'd skip the lobster fried rice - it was like 5 servings of rice with a small amount of lobster in it. Not worth the price and I regretted not getting something different. Service was great and friendly and we really enjoyed the band. read more

This is a hopping place. Outside it is self serve, find your own table. Picnic tables and benches, a band started playing around 7. Food trucks with mostly fried food. You can sit outside and order takeout form inside- which I tried to do, but got through the checkout process and got a message the restaurant had closed down takeout orders. It's expensive, but relative given there really isn't someplace like this outside Newport. Bottled water (you have to get it from the food truck) was $4 each. Drinks were standard, around $12. Food was pricey- $10 from summer salad which was really just a bowl of arugula, a few tomatoes and maybe half of an ear of corn. Fish n chips (substituted watermelon for fries) was $22. Not sure I would eat here again, but defiantly would stop by for a drink on the water and the music. Parking is a premium. Seems most people park on the lot to the left or the street. We scored a spot in the small lot by sheer luck. Take a walk on the path around the water after it's pretty. read more

This place truly has it all. Great location, amazing atmosphere, a huge food and drink menu, and great service. This is my new go to spot as long as I'm down in New Bedford. I wasn't sure if they just served beer here but upon getting here I found out immediately they have a great wine and liquor list, on top of a great beer menu. I sat at the bar and loved the experience. The bartender was great. They have sushi, barbeque, seafood, burgers, etc. here. You could come here everyday for weeks and not get bored with the menu. I thought the sushi roll I had was solid and the seafood platter I ordered was huge. This was mostly due to the size of the Shrimp, which were insanely huge. I really have no complaints. My only recommendation would be to add Sake to the drink menu as the restaurant has a great Sushi and seafood section and I think adding Sake to the menu would be a nice addition. read more

Cisco is a classic, and this location is no comparison to their Boston summer pop up! The ambience in the beer garden is top notch, with food trucks and drink trucks scattered about and great music always. The restaurant is superb, and despite service sometimes being on the slower side, I am sure it's because it is always slammed! If you're planning on eating in the restaurant, be sure to make a reservation so you don't have to wait upwards of an hour or two in prime time. I had the herb roasted chicken, and my friend had the teriyaki chicken, both of which were great! Not dried out, flavor was excellent, and sides were good. Heard good things about their sushi, so will be testing that out soon. Would always recommend Cisco New Bedford for a casual, fun summer evening! read more

My family really enjoyed our visit. The location and decor are stellar with hip nautical design and clear water views in almost every direction. Our server was charming and helpful. The menu is incredibly diverse, not your typical beer kitchen. First of all they have a lot of Asian food including a nice selection of sushi with locally caught options, and Asian grille dishes like salmon on glass noodles with teriyaki glaze. My youngest daughter loved that dish, which made my wife and I very happy. The beer selections include a lot of atypical Cisco options including the seasonal IPA which had a perfectly balanced peach flavor - not too sweet or heavy. We loved dinner so why not desert? The carrot cake was good, a nice way to wrap up our meal. With the 195 bridge out for two years we will certainly be back. It was packed by six with a two hour wait so reservations recommended. read more

Beautiful service, calm and nice, very stable environment. Food was amazing, told to remove the spicyness off of the teriyaki beef for the appetizer as I can't eat spicy foods they did it without any issues even when the waitress thought they couldn't. Ambience is pretty nice with a sight of the beach even during night time. No one yelling and fighting, waitress seem to be happy with her job, treated my mother with a free desert which she only knew that after she said it was her birthday so she went and removed the desert from the list. Bathrooms are clean, the place isn't a mess. Prices are a bit expensive but affordable and even with that the plates are BIG. Overall I'm content with the experience. 96/100 I recommend coming to this one :) read more

Cisco is such a lovely spot in New Bedford for an outdoor meal or drink. It's an absolutely fantastic set up on the water with a great view of the ocean. It has a fun ambiance with live music and outdoor games on a nice day. I didn't order any as a vegetarian, but the people I was with ordered lobster rolls and said they were delicious. The ceasar salad however was pretty mediocre and the cornbread that came with it pretty dry. The service we had was excellent - I was in a big group and we were in a rush to get to an event and they were very accommodating to all our needs! read more
